LixzIo EYRua To-day.

Miss Lizzie Evans aud her company
arrived in the city yesterday forenoon.
This afternoon she will appear at the
Opera House In "Fogg's Ferry" and this
evening in Sour Angel" Miss Evans
needs no introduction to a Wheeling audi.
enoe. She is well.known and uni vsrsally
liked here. "Foge's Ferry" ia one Of the
few dramas Of its class which have merit,
and sour Angel" is said to be- as strong a
play, and has tho additional attraction Of
never having been seen here. The play
Of "Our Angel" says the Pittsburgh Dl.
patch, is a godsend to Miss Evans; she ,fits
nicely into 1t. As blossom Jennings, !"
her merit has found g medium of expres.
sion, and the result is new creation that
appeals to the feelings, and captivates by
its excellence. The actress ia lost in the
art, and this new girl of the mining camp
must 60 down as another picture in the
Rallery Of fancy with ita spiightly laugh
ing touches Of humar, and Ito strain of
finer feeling. The little episode in the
second aot, the music lesson, Ia quantity
natural and 1t told wonderfully with the

INrELLIoENCER readers will be pleased
with "Chris'mas Times TO- de Wah," by
Mr.. Geo. e. Throop, talented man we'll
known in the eastern part OF the Stats as
an experienced teacher. The "darkey
dialect" is always charming when 1t is
used by one who knows how, and here we
have it to the life. The verses give a
sketch Of an old Virginia Christmas, the
unusual hustle on the plantation, the
goinga on in the big house and In the
quarters. We can almost hear Gabriel
saving on the fiddle, and he is woefully
lacking in imagination who cannot see
tho dancers whirling "down de middle"
Mr.. Throop hsa done other good things in
verse, sometimes in serious view, and
some excellent things in prose. We have
not seen the "darkey dlalec" better
handled, and It happens that the popular
fancy OF the time is encouraging writer's
in this line. ~

WAR INEVITABLE,

,Fa Early Spring. y n
BERLIN, Dec. 25.-It war in the spring
Is avsrted, official anticipation will be de-.
ceived and military expectation dlsap.
pointed. Within the past few days 1t has
become the settled conviction Of tho
diplomatic circle that the Cars pacific
tendencies have been overborne by the
panslavlst faction, and that he Is now
under the control Of tho war party, the
leaders OF which are likely to precipitate
a war by some act OF provocation, commit.
ted without the Czar's full assent.
The return Of Gen. Won Sch weinitz, tho I
German ambassador to st. Petersburg,
WAS hoped to be signalizad bv decisive
turn Of the tide peaceward. The confer.
ence between General Schweinitz and NJ. Z
DeGiers, the Russian Prime Minister, on
Thursday last, had contrary result.
Whatever passed during the interview has
deepened the distrua. in Berlin and in I
creased the irritation of the Austrian
Government towards the Czar's ministers.
N. DeGlers appears to have abandoned
bis policy of peace pressure upon the
Car, and to have thrown his
influence on the side of tho military
party. He is sreported as telling Gen. Won
Schweinitz that the Czar is sincerely de-.
sirous Of peace, but is unable longer to
tolerate Austrian duplicity in thwnrtng
Russian endeavors to obtain the juet fruits
OF their sacrifices in the Bslkan'campaign.
Apart from what tranapired at tho inter-
view with Gen. Won Schweinitz. III. De-
Giers has complained openly at diplo-
matte reunions in st. Petersburg OF Count /
kalnoys language in reference to Rusais,
declaring it to be unbearsble, and that It
justified every measure Russia might take
to reinforcs her t.oops on the frontier. Z

A FAMILY OF MURDERERs,
Deeds that Rival those Committed by Il
Famous Bender Gang.

Deeds that Rival those Committed by tho
Famous 'Bonder Gang.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. ga special from
Wichita, Kanaas, Bays: Mr.. Gregg, repre-
aenttng St. Louis house, arrived in this
yesterday from "No Mans Land" He
confirms tho reports OF the bloody deeds
Of the Kelly family, and gives further par.
ticularn. He says he can remember stop.
ping at the Kelly house to get meals. 1t
was ono story hut with a barn short
distance away. In his former trip there
about the 10Th OF November, he missed
tho family and did not know what had be-
come OF them. In his last trip he was
told at Oak City, tho particulars Of the
finding OF the bodies soon after an investi-
CATION had been made. Beneath the
house was found cellar in which were
the decomposed remains Of man. This
body lay almost beneath trap which had
been built In the floor. In the corner Of
the cellar was found two more bodies,
both so far decomposed as to be unrecog.
nizable. Besides these Mr.. Gregg GAYS
there were four bodies found below the
stable, one OF which WAS that OF woman.
A cowboy by the name Of "Texey,"
who asid he was with the second inves.
tigating party, stated that the frat bodies
found, led to go much talk that che whole
premises for rods around the house was
searched. Lying alongside Of the barn,
buried at depth Of not over 3 feet, was
unearthed the remains Of a man which
appeared to be better dressed thau any Of
the others, and which, 1t was believed,
was tho hody of the missing J. T. Taylor.
About 2 feet away wau @ second body, not
at all recognizable. At the corner Of the
barn wero buried bodies Of a third man
and woman. The bodies were taken from
their resting places and given burial.
Nothing has been heard Of tho Kellys
since they removed. There !s feeling,
however, that with their ill:gotten gaiE5
they had removed to old Mexico. In
speaking Of the personal appearance Of
the family Mr.. Gregg says there was moth.
ing particularly diBsgreeable about them.
The son and daughter were over 20 years
OF age. l&ls

An Ariist,a Work,

A noticeable feature about the good
Ohristmas dinner that was served at the
Mcclure house yesterday WAS the menu
cards. They were handsome and artistic
souvenirs gotten up by Mr.. Sam B., Har.
rison, the we'll known head clerk, who has
done considerable clever amatuer work in
the way Of decoration with paints and
brushes. These cards were about the best
work he has ever done; the design was
novel and pretty, and there was a big de.
mand for them on the part Of the guests
who desired to send them away. For the
ladies boarding at the house Mr.. Harrison
prepared individual cards that we're especi.
ally elegant. The artist was loaded down
with compliments.

As to tho GLASS Situation,

The impression prevails that the con.
fict between employees and workers in the
flint glass trade will be a long and serious
one, involving heavy loss to both sides.
The manufacturers committee has noti.
fed President Scott, Of the Wheeling Cen
trsl glass works that, Notwithstanding they
aligned the scale last summer, they are
bound to adhere to the manufacturers in
whatever course they pursue. It is fair to
assume that the association has agreed to
make good any damages the Central will
sustain in violating its contract with the
workmen, the extent Of which will proba.
bly, be determined BY the courts.

has been received:

has been received:

10 the Wool Grotstrs Of th< United Stales.
The sentiment favoring free trade In this
country has been augmented to the er
tent Of the Presidents influence. In an.
nouncing bis sympathy with those who dc
not encourage American industries, and
domestic labors, the executive has en-.
phaaied his contempt for your industry
by proposing the repeal Of all duties on
imported woods. You number about 1000.
900 voters, and give employment to about
100000 more. Every State, and nearly
every county in each State OF the
Union, has aocks and Hockmasters. Your
focks generally are small, your wealth
limited and your locations 60 scattered as
TO render organization and united action
difficult. Once tho producers Of three
hundred million pounds OF wool annual.
ly, valued at about one hundred millions
o. dollars you have seen the unfriendly
legiBlation OF 1883 check your growth, and
actually reduce your focks in number and
your annual clip in extent Of fifteen per
cent. These results followed small re-.
duction OF protective dutiee. rl.
Now the President proposes their aboli.
ton, 90 that South America and Australia
with other foreign nations can supply the
consumption of the United States spindles
and looms. The officers OF your national
society desire to organize Resistance
to this cruel attempt. In order
to secure It's defeat by active
resistance I advise that you petition Con.
gress freely from all parts Of the country.
Send letters to congressman from every
district. Have each Association OF wool
growers, State, county, township or town,
pass and forward appropriate resolutions;
inclte the Grangers, or associations Of
husbandmon, to unite their voices with
yours in urging Congress to promote the
welfare OF agriculture, for franchised free.

sion by making those In authority under

Exercise wisely the power which this

Of its people the power to cor
